Subject: Quite Useful Work
Subject: Quite Useful Work
The US Marine Corps were involved in quite a few small wars in the Caribbean prior to World War 2, and this volume sums up the distilled experience of those actions. Highly useful from the standpoint of what was doctrine for guerrilla war in 1940.
